Vasey RSL Care Ivanhoe, a purpose-built 50-bed low care facility, opened in 1997. Native gum trees, which surround the front of the building, give it an appealing facade.The home comprises five 'houses', which are linked together by walkways. They are secure and provide a more intimate environment. Staff fully support the notion that the facility is the residents' home, with flexible routines and respect for individual choices.A special feature of this facility is its proximity to Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital, with direct access to the Hospital campus.There is an on-site bus and outings take place each week. An active lifestyle program provides social and cultural outlets for residents, based on their personal choices.
